With so many dynamic scripts now putting the title into the url, that can give a fair bit of information.

I seemed to have that very problem on this site earlier, I made a post about something (with the dephormation add-on disabled) and the URL I typed was altered in some way (i had been on ebay earlier and the URL I posted took ppl there)
Very weird, I will be extra careful in the future...
